Story
Winnie is a sweet, vocal girl who came to us as a hungry and pregnant stray in January 2025. We gave her a safe place to regain her health and have her litter of kittens. She is now spayed and her kittens have found their forever homes. She loves human company and knows her name well. She has a special love for wet food and churus, but also enjoys chattering with her humans and cheek scratches. She does not like other cats, which is why we need to find a new home for her for where she can feel secure as the only kitty in the household. Though she spent some time outdoors as a baby, she would be better suited to an indoor-only lifestyle, but she is microchipped just in case. // Likes: Human company, eating wet food with water mixed in, chatting back and forth with her humans, made-up songs with her name in it, and cheek scratches. // Dislikes: Other cats, dirty litter, and an empty food bowl.

Story
Moreover is a big 17lb boy. He loves food and treats. He does have all of his claws as he was too big to get declared when we got him. He loves to play. He gets along with dogs and children. If you aren't careful, he'll try to sneak outside. He is pretty lazy and loves to cuddle/snuggle on his terms. He is litter trained and has a special diet due to growing full size before he was neutered. Hoping to find him a good home where he is cared for.

Story
This is Obi. He is roughly 5 months old. I say roughly because he was found outside wandering in November 2025. The vet said he was around 6 weeks old at that time. Obi knows what he wants and he'll ask for it too haha. He will tell you when he wants to be picked up and held, cuddled, and when he wants food. He is free fed so just whenever he's hungry we feed him. He is fully litter trained as well. As kittens do, he will get a little fiesty when he wants to play. As long as he is playing with toys (dont use hands to play!) He wont get comfortable biting you as he matures. All in all Obi is full personality and there's never a boring moment with him in your life. So I'm looking for someone preferably who has owned cats/kittens before and knows their behavior patterns. Also someone who will give him the time he needs to play and socialize.

Story
Hermes is a very sweet, soft, and fluffy cat who loves being near his people. He isn’t overly demanding, but he’s happiest when he can hang out close by, whether that’s lounging nearby or keeping you company while you go about your day. He has a playful side and especially enjoys small toys and balls (Hungry Hippo or Bingo balls are a big hit). He’s gentle, affectionate, and easy to love. Hermes is up to date on all vet care and vaccinations. Unfortunately, we’re looking to rehome him due to circumstances outside his control: our daughter moved out of state for school and can’t have a cat, and our son has a strong cat allergy, which means we’re unable to give Hermes the attention he deserves. To help make his transition easy, Hermes will come with a robot litter machine, a cat water fountain, and a cat carrier. We’re hoping to find Hermes a calm, loving home where he can get the companionship he enjoys so much.
